Shah also expressed confidence that after the new criminal laws are fully implemented, the “conviction rate will be higher than any other country in the world
Union Home Minister Amit Shah Tuesday termed the enactment of three new criminal laws as the biggest reform in independent India and said they will make the judicial process not only affordable and accessible but also simpler, time-bound and transparent.
Shah stressed that the PM Narendra Modi-led government framed the new laws — BNS, BNSS and BSA — to ensure that all rights of citizens are protected and no criminal goes unpunished.
Addressing an event marking one year of the roll out of the three laws, Shah said, “These laws are going to transform the criminal justice system in the country significantly. I assure all the citizens that it will take a maximum of three years for the full implementation of the new laws. I can also confidently say that anyone can get justice up to the Supreme Court within three years of filing an FIR.”
He said the biggest challenge before the country’s judicial system was ‘when will justice be delivered’, referring to the long pendency of cases.
“It was an era of ‘tareekh pe tareekh’ (repeated adjournments). But after the complete implementation of three new laws, if you file an FIR in any corner of the country, you will get justice up to the Supreme Court within three years,” he added.
Shah also expressed confidence that after the new criminal laws are fully implemented, the “conviction rate will be higher than any other country in the world, our judicial system will be the most modern system in the world, and the usage of technology will be the highest in India”.
